76000 - Arctic Batman vs Mr. Freeze: Aquaman on Ice

When I first saw this set come out earlier this year it was on my must haves. I mean you get a great Batman variation and Aquaman! Sure Aquaman gets his fair share of ribbing, but let's face it, unless Lego decides to do a full blown Justice League set you're probably not going to see another Aquaman mini anywhere else but here.

Let have a look at the set.

Mr. Freeze is up to his antics again and it's up to Batman to free a frozen Aquaman.

The Bat-Blade is pretty neat.

Those orange things on the back I do believe are suppose to be detatable mines or something like that

The push rods in the back are suppose to shoot out these discs. I'm not sure what they are supopse to be. And they don't come out easily either.

Here's a look in the cockpit.

And a close up of the jet flame and butt mines.

The ice prison is pretty well done and actually would pair nice with the Yeti mini from Series 11.

Alright lets have a look at the minis

First up is the Arctic Suit Batman. I think it would have been cooler if the Batarangs had been white too.

Batman comes with dual faces as well.

Aquaman. I lost his trident somewhere and still haven't been able to find it.

He's also dual faced.

Mr. Freeze. DC has a whole stable of cold related villians. Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold, Killer Frost, you get the idea and oddly enough I think all three are in Batman's rogues gallery.

Mr. Freezes backback is a reuse of the Astronauts backpack with blue visor. I think it works well.

Here's a look at Freezy striped down.

Over all a nice little set. Can't go wrong for this set for around $20. The variant Batman and Aquaman make it more than worth it.

HEY YOU!!!

Do you have a blog or website devoted even partly to building sets of all kinds and everything that goes with them? Would you like me to put you on the blog roll or the resource links on the sidebar? I'd love to! Leave me a post or drop me an email, you can find it in my profile.

About Me

I'm just a simple Wisconsin boy who moved to Alaska and loves The Packers, Brewers, Sports Cards and Comic Books. My addictions both started in 1987 in El Paso TX where my dad was stationed in the Army and I picked up Justice League of America comic books for a quarter a piece at flea markets and started buying cello packs of 87 topps baseball from Circle K. It's been a down hill slide ever since. Now I've moved back to the big city in Alaska, Anchorage, and I look at culverts to pay my bills.
